Every 4th Sunday of the month is FREE (sponsored by HEB) which is always nice. We actually…read moreaccidentally showed up on that day. Personally, I think I'd prefer to pay ($10 per adult, 4 and under are free) and have it be a little less crowded. The building is small, the hallways narrow, the elevator slow. I wasn't sure what to expect but I'd advise you to keep your expectations low. The museum is a bit dated, the building is old, and some of the exhibits felt antiquated. There is a certain charm to that. Plus, you can see everything in one short visit. They did make it ADA accessible -- there's a separate entrance for wheelchairs and strollers. There's a wheelchair ramp available for the inaccessible areas (like the paleontology exhibit). For strollers, I'd recommend just leaving it upstairs and holding your kid. The exhibits are small so you won't be there for long. Gift shop had a nice selection of cute gifts/souvenirs. Easy parking in the San Jacinto garage next door. Cost us $6 or something like that. While the woman's restroom had a diaper changing station, I don't think the men's did. I noticed a dad going in to change his son's diaper (he verbally noted it to the mom) and walked right back out. If they want to be accommodating to families, this might be an upgrade worth making. FYI: they're card only, no cash.

I wish they had more stuff to look at/interact with, I thought the place would be bigger. On the bright side they can be somewhat flexible with scheduling tickets, they say they aren't refundable but if you're running late they can push the time for you if you call.

All the exhibits are thoughtfully laid out and cover many different areas of science.

We visited the location on a Saturday and it was not crowded. Can easily spend 2-3 hours here, and cost is $20 for an adult plus kid. This museum is a refurbished old feed mill and cotton gin built by German immigrants in 1880, featured unique mechanical innovations to process grain, and has maintained its landmark architecture. Johnson City is part of the Texan German belt, has an unpretentious old country feel, and deep rooted heritage. Nice afternoon outing and fun to stroll the main strip for antiques and comfort foods.

It's so nice to have an indoor hands on interactive learning place for the young ones! It's fun and pretty clean. We were so generously gifted a family membership for Christmas by our family friends and it was perfect! The STEAM hands on learning and activities really engages children of all ages. My 7 year old and 4 year old enjoy it here. My 6 month old will get into it soon enough. No food or drinks inside the museum. The water zone is nice that it has smocks and crocs for kids to wear and change into to avoid getting wet and slipping. There is also an outdoor playscape and water tables to get into. I am so grateful they have a comfort nursing room for moms to have a private blocked off area to feed babies! It's much appreciated
